Bronchiectasis: Evaluation of an Educational Intervention

The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of primary care physicians in diagnosing BE and evaluate the impact of an educational intervention targeting those primary care physicians and providing instruction in the recognition and treatment of BE. The hope is that a better understanding of the disease will result in more accurate diagnoses and ultimately in more appropriate care for these patients. In addition to better care for patients, earlier recognition of bronchiectasis may result in a decrease in health care costs.
